Had major Virus wipe out my entire Blue Iris.

[dee]

I had a major virus wipe out almost my entire system. I have somehow recovered most of it. However my Blue Iris is behond repair and I need to somehow recover 4 of my 5 cameras. I believe my BI license is good until July but I'm willing to renew now. My problem is that I have 3 different cancers in remission but have no clue how to recover my camera settings. Last year I upgraded my router and all the settings now reside inside the router and not on my disc. My pc has roughly 3 terabytes of Blue Iris files on fast internal SSD plus copies of those files on a 20 terabyte rotary plug in. I'm 85 years old, have intermittent brain fade but would really like to get my BI working again. Anyone have ideas on how to proceed? Would it be best to order a new version of or existing version of Blue Iris. Can someone post how to contact them in Germany?


Thanks in advance
Dee

Hello.

You don't need a new license. Just download the full installer from Blue Iris by Perspective Software LLC | Video Security and Webcam Software and reinstall and reactivate with the original license key.

If you are lucky the configuration will still be in the windows registry, otherwise you will need to reconfigure all the cameras from scratch.

If you need help with the setup, you can ask here but you would get faster help from an AI chat bot like Microsoft Copilot: Your AI companion -- just chat with it like it is a person and it should be able to help with camera setup. If it goes off on tangents about unrelated software or something, that just means you have not been specific enough in your questions.
